Naked tropics : essays on empire and other rogues
In "Naked Tropics: Essays on Empire and Other Rogues," historian Kenneth Maxwell presents a collection of his most significant writings, exploring Portugal's imperial journey from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and from the coast of Asia to the mouth of the Red Sea. The essays delve into themes such as the peopling of the Americas, the transformative interactions between continents, and the spirit that propelled Portugal into its imperial ventures. Maxwell also examines the interplay between Portugal's extensive imperial reach into Africa, Asia, and the Americas, as well as the rise and tumultuous history of Brazil. The collection includes 16 essays, each reflecting Maxwell's passion for the subject matter. The book is part of the "New World in the Atlantic World" series and was first published in 2003 by Routledge.
